FMJ's AK47 grow - day 33 flower/pics

[FullMetalJacket]

Here are some ak47 33 days of 12/12. I usually like to see what they can take. Right now i run with

25% rh
85-86 temp
1900 Co2 ppm
TDS 1300 (.5) or about 1600 .(7)

I find this is how these plants grow best. I chooses this because it works for me. Im really pushing the plants to their limits.

I am able to control my env variables to within following thresholds. This is nice because i usually only check my plants every 3-7 days.

-temp within 2 degree -(74 and up)
-humidity within 4% (15%-90%)
-PPM within 5ppm (380-2900)

This was taken 2 weeks ago, just so you see my set-up real quick...

My right side needs to be fuller. It ill be next run from clone.

some serious ak47 4-5 weeks 12-12...

more..

one more grouping...i notice i get more trichs when i shock the plant a few times nightly for 30 min with 2500 ppms. I also take the temp to 90 during this time. I will run ith these levels until the last 2 weeks then i will go down to 74 temp, no c02, rh at 20%, heavy airflow.

10 days from harvest i will do a proper clearex flush and run RO water. Calyxys should explode in like 3 weeks and fill this bitch up. No hairs are even brown yet. But i have scopes for the time to look at trichs. One has a camera i will have to hook up.

This is fan leaf, these thing are frosty...

these were all taken 33 days 12/12. Strain goes 9 weeks. I am exactly halfway there.

also added my cams...i have 3 in there.

Here is one..to read my params

here is what i see downstairs on my cpu or when i connect remotely.

and what i see from the cam in my flower chamber..

Not only do they go to my cpu, they go to my tv on a separate input. That's the tv they go to and that blue room is my office so they go to my pc in there. Need to put them wires in that runner.... The cabinet is situated upstairs from here in a spare bedroom.

suggestions welcome...

Nice pics man. Love your set up and especially the AK!!! I like the camera set up, very nice.

TY
The next plants ill be bigger as im going from clone and have more control. The mother i have is of the plant on the left. It takes up over half the cab and has the most trichs. They will be vegged for two moths before flowered. They are 3 weeks now and already 14" topped once.

I also germed 3 blueberry from dj short and have 5 fem blueberry from DP on the way. Since my next flower round will be the last until fall i will flower the BB in the veg chamber side by side. May get another HPS for that or maybe some multiple 150 HPS.

i love it. great job!

Thanks guys...

Here are the AKs i have in veg. About 28 days ago i cloned them. The to big ones in the back are from my best plant(the one in the back left). They have been topped already. I will let them go 30 more days and i will be getting rid of the other 2 plants in veg you see in the front. Just holding on to them in case something extraordinary happens to their mothers late in flower.

Also have the 3 DJ short Blueberry seedlings and 3 clones taken yesterday of my best plant to make a mother. ill be making and auto-feed system in dirt for her. Notice im not using a humidome. I don't find them useful and my humidity in the veg room right no im keeping at a lowww at 25%. I use a humidome for the first 2 days until the seedlings are green. At this 2 day point i put the 1" cubic rockwool in hydroton filled netpots. I run a 0 ppm bubbler with heavy bubbles. The water level touches my rockwool. I see the roots come out of the netpots in 7-8 days from germ.

People say this stressed them or caused the male ratio to go up. I guess its possible but i doubt it. Even so if the plant is that easy to stress i don't want anything to do with them. I want some hardy bitches that can take it deep from behind.




I will start with 4 mothers ak, kali, blueberry (either dj or DP), c99 or MK(depends on my AK smoke)

Great looking plants and setup! I'll be reading more of this!

And the reason the pics have a blue tint for the buds is im using the incandescent light option on my camera... Most cameras have them. Helps show more detail and can see the oils. You can see where i touch some fan leaves because the oils are all smeared in the pics in the shape of fingers prints. If i didnt use it most of the buds in the pics would be hard to see as my canopy is way too dense.

Here is an good example of the difference. It was shot w/ incandescent feature but hood blocked some of it so you see w/ just hps and incadescent flash...

Some trunks in the flower chamber. That one plant in the front just never really took off, hope to pull a oz off her, lol.... Deep down im sure she is a beast...

 

[420Blunt's]

its the little weed plant that could...

Nice set up looks great can't wait to see harvest

Damn FMJ this leave reminds me of my very first grow, it was some inane purple kush from the bay area. Shit was frosted on every damn leave.

I was thinking more around 112.8 g's

I dig your surveillance setup showing your control panel. That is one helpful hand. I work out of town 14 days a month and sometimes my plants feel the affect my because my baby sitter isnt completely dialed in. How do you set something up like that? Im not to computer savvy but im ok. Love your grow, cant wait to see them fuckers finish up

FullMetalJacket,

Amazing set up you have. I was woundering if you can give me a ballpark of ppm from 3 sets of leaves when you start to flowering I read your forum but you start at 200 ppm tap just adjusting the ph to 5.8 but when do you start adding the nutes and how often do you look to raise and by how much.
Also do you start 1/2 strength when switching to bloom? 12/12?

Thanks!

All depends on the stain really/ and lighting.

If i were you, no C02 and first time w/ a strain.

I would go 200 ppm when the 5 leave set is the same distance out as the 3 leave set. Usually like 10-14 days from germ. Then go up 200 ppm in 3 days. 3 days is inportant because it takes time to see how the plant copes. I dont stop until i see a tad of burn then i back off 250 ppm. But i like heavy nutes. Most people go half starinth a 4 nodes and full streangth by 6.

Cool man thanks I just wanted a basic guideline as I'm new at hydro.
Thanks!
